Preston Chui

Student Filmmaker

Hi my name's Preston and I am currently a student in middle school, who takes filmmaking as a hobby. I have made drone montages, documentary, promotional videos and also other types of films. In terms of roles, I had experience in being the director, producer, camera operator, editor and many more minor roles, especially since I am mostly operating on a low budget scale (sometimes with my close group of filmmaking friends).

However, one of my main weaknesses is music production, which leads to the reason why most of my creations relied on music created and produced by other people (copyrighted content). Anyways I'm still a beginner eager to learn more in the world of filmmaking.

To be honest, the biggest problem I faced was writing screenplays, from my experience I first started off with a brilliant idea, and passion for turning it into a film, and writing the first few drafts for screenplay seemed to be not a problem at all, but as you start to correct mistakes after mistakes and changing things up, it is then when I start to loose the motivation to actually create the film, doubting whether it is actually possible or not. Thanks for the idea though, will definitely try changing up my habit of typing out screenplays.
